Only because of CW. Without him that show was broo-tuhl.
I didn't mind Ross. Yeah he's a Hawk fan but he doesn't come close to the snotty attitude of Lucas and could actually carry on decent conversations about both Iowa and ISU IMO. Yeah Chris definitely put more effort into watching Hawk games than Ross did watching ISU so he be could be prepared to talk about them. I'm a baseball fan so liked the baseball topics Ross would discuss at times too. I get some here don't care for him but he was a much better sports talk radio personality than anyone left there now other than Ken Miller. I used to dislike Ken because of his association with that scum Marty Tirrell but that's far enough in the past now maybe it could just be that everyone left is so bad that it makes Ken look better. I'm not sure who I found more annoying and obnoxious Trent or Lucas, both are pretty rough to listen too unless you are a homer Hawk fan or have a gambling problem as that that is their 2 main obsessions.

Sean has come a long ways from being the village idiot on the morning show with Heather and Travis. Still not a big fan of him but he has grown up a lot over that last few years that I have a harder time finding reasons not to like him. Travis is Travis, I don't lean 1 way or the other on him he is what he is and knows how to push the right buttons sometimes to make conversation entertaining. Kind of what you want from somoene hosting a morning show to be a little out there at times I guess. Heather I used to defend here especially when she got left high and dry by Ken Miller when she first started but lately she just seems like she is going through the motions and doing whatever it takes to fill air time with little prep work. You can have an AI bot make random lists and read out tweets for a a fraction of what they are essentially paying her to do. I'd rather listen to her husband host the full show than her to be honest.

Sadly if I turn on KXNO and they don't get my interest in the first 5 minutes or so I just change the channel these days. The quality of the local sports talk scene has fallen a long ways when you can tune in and expect some regularly scheduled guest segments like Larry Cotlar did in the mornings and whatever combination they had with Ken Miller in the afternoon. Ken still keeps to that format for the most part with regular guests and minimal calls taken. But can you tell me any regular guests or segments that the morning and afternoon shows do that you make a point to tune into or let alone can you really name any other than the weekly conversation with Mark Farley in the morning and the Ask 5-0 anything segment in the afternoon?

Sure miss Cotlar.

She was terrible.
You don’t like it because of how good she is at her job but it’s because she’s a woman. *jimlad*

Completely joking, that’s just her response to any criticism she’s received or when people complain about the greatness of Beth Mowins.

KASI got gutted by iHeart, too -- both in terms of personnel and equipment/space. Via a couple of people formerly affiliated with KASI:

"KASI will no longer have a physical presence in Ames, but will broadcast from Des Moines by its owner iHeart Radio."
Kind of wild a college town of 60k+ no longer has a local radio and newspaper ( Ames tribune is basically the register now) because corps bought them and deemed they arent profitable.

Looking forward to tomorrow when Miller and Condon will be 75% hoks because of their huge win and Kenny will keep telling us the Ravens are the team to beat in the NFL.

Ross Peterson with some discussion about being let go from KXNO. Not many details. He expected it to happen at some point after the first time. Still more upset about the first time than this time. Wants to have his own podcast.

I turned into the noon show today for the first time in a long time, it will be a long time before I listen again. They spent most of the first segment making ISU fans look bad and ripping on CMC over the guys that opted out. Man has that show gone downhill.
